"So, let’s sum this up: A caravan of SEIU buses receive a Metropolitan (D.C.) Police Department escort to a private home in Maryland where the protesters, from all appearances, violate Montgomery County law by engaging in a stationary protest. The Montgomery County police were not informed by their cross-jurisdictional colleagues of the impending, unusually large protest pending in their jurisdiction.

What’s up with that? Had the mob decided to torch the house, the D.C. police would not have been authorized to intervene. Not their jurisdiction. They’re just escorts. Meanwhile, a teenage boy is home alone, frightened by what’s happening outside his front door."

its coming........ its simply coming!

IF they pulled that shit almost anywhere else, that 14 year old kid would have been sitting behind the front door with a shotgun on the phone with cops. No cowering in the shitter.

I am all for shooting bankers, but thats after a fair trial, and dragging them out in the street. But leave their families outta it.

This shit is just sickening to me. and the funny thing is that there was no media coverage about a MOB terrorizing people in that neighborhood, while Tea party rallies are some how violent. And the only person to write about this is now getting gang beat BY ALL THE liberal media trying to discredit her.

Really? Cause the funny thing was there WAS coverage on just about every news station in DC/MD/VA... And please stop with the "if that was me" or "if they were from_(fill in the blank area,) that shit wouldn't fly" bullshit. It wasn't you, it wasn't going to be you, there wasn't your 14 year old nephew with a shotgun ready to take on 500 people. You have good points in some of the things you write, but with the amount of hostility in which you respond with to anyone with a counter argument makes you look a little crazy. We already know you're always right, so calm down.

Well man I dont live near DC, so it was not in any news "en mass" I have access to, Did not make any national news that I know of. Yet any tea party is 4 days of nonstop "news" about them, even though they are peaceful and incident free. The only place I had seen a mention of this was in the Huff, where they were attacking the Fortune Mag writer that happened to be a neighbor in the area, who wrote negatively of this rally.

Next where did I say take on 500 people. just made the point he should have been prepared to defend himself (if the means to were available which I kinda doubt), (these tools beat up a elderly man a few months ago why would they not harm a kid) Mob mentality is fickle, and can change in an instant. When and where I grew up by 14, I was doing most things by my self, and so were all my peers. We were all taught that if something happens and people were trying to get in or did break into the home or were prowling around, that you call the police. We also know where the Shotgun is at and know how to use it and when it would be appropriate, Not cower in the shitter. most of us rural country farm kids have been shooting since we were 8-10 years old.

The kid was scared who wouldn't be, but the kid is 14, hes old enough to know what to do in that situation, if not then there is some serious issues with our society. Like this protest in the 1st place does not drive the issues with society, point home.

You think I am hostile???? LOL man, I am far from hostile, it takes a lot to get my dander up. I have issues with stupidity. And this whole situation form the 14 bus loads of hostile protesters, to the lack of media coverage, to the attempt to discredit the negative report of the incident, are also stupid and really non of this should have happened.

If that kid would have popped a few of them, more would have died from the stampede of unassing that neighborhood.

How is this even news? FFS. Bunch of people stood around a practically empty house, did nothing and exercised their right to protest. ZZZZzzzzzzz

[ck_taft325is]

Why is this news? Because they went to a B. of A. Lobbyist's house and not the damned politicians. If the Politicians would stop giving into the bribes, fickle arguments and assertations of Lobbyists, get this... the 16million spent by B. of A. wouldn't matter much, huh? So, it's like this. Say I work my 10-14 hour shift building things. But down the street a contractor just screwed some poor old ladies. I get home from my 10-14 hours of work to find a bunch of asshats standing in my driveway on a fucking loud speaker, breaking the local laws, yelling things about how terrible contractors are. Make much sense in those regards? It's a rough example, but it's pretty much the same thing.

Once you stop accepting welfare, then your opinion will count for something.

Until then, let those of us who earn a living and pay our taxes discuss.

And that's why I posted it, because people not in the area did not hear about it.

If you don't think it's bullshit, well then, not much we can do for you.

What's really awesome about this story is these SEIU thugs were escorted to the guys house BY THE COPS. But when called because they were covering his private property, they denied help.

[Wiglaf]

lol
good. I filed a bankruptcy just to turn the other cheek on those assholes.

That's what makes it newsworthy.
